Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has donated a modern command control centre and Hilux vehicles to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to enhance security coordination and operational efficiency nationwide. The facility was unveiled on Thursday in Abuja.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Managing Director, Tantita, Kestin Ebimorbowei, said the partnership aligns with the Federal Government’s reform agenda aimed at strengthening economic performance and national stability. He described the initiative as a demonstration of the company’s commitment to national development.
Ebimorbowei, who was represented by the company’s Executive Director, Operations and Technical, Capt. Warredi Enisuoh,said although the centre is located in Abuja, its operational reach will cover the entire country.
Enisuoh noted that the facility is equipped with advanced monitoring systems to enhance air, land, and real-time incident surveillance.
He described the 24-hour centre as a major step toward deeper technological integration within the corps, adding that it would support the NSCDC and other security agencies in fulfilling their constitutional mandates.
Capt. Enisuoh commended NSCDC personnel for protecting Tantita operatives, noting that private security guards are not legally permitted to bear arms.
He also revealed that 15 Officers lost their lives while working with the company and pledged continued support for the families of fallen personnel.“We rate this partnership ten over ten,” he said, citing the sacrifices of uniformed Officers.
In his remarks, NSCDC Commandant General, Professor Ahmed Audi, thanked Tantita for the fully furnished facility and two Hilux operational vehicles. He announced that the structure has been named the “Nuhu Ribadu Hydrocarbon and Maritime Security Command and Control Centre.”
Audi said the centre would be integrated with the Office of the National Security Adviser to strengthen coordination among security agencies. According to him, it will enhance intelligence gathering, information sharing, and inter-agency collaboration, particularly in hydrocarbon and maritime security.
He stressed that structured data management and credible intelligence dissemination are critical to national development and expressed confidence that the new facility would significantly boost the corps’ operational capacity.
Also speaking, the Executive Chairman of Zuma Energy Power Ltd, Dr. Innocent Ezuma, announced the donation of an additional building for VIP protection services. Represented by Nwoko Alex, he said the facility would improve standards in safeguarding high-profile individuals while contributing to national security.
